SQL CREATE TABLE


CREATE TABLE command creates a new table in the database in SQL. In this article, we will learn
about CREATE TABLE in SQL with examples and syntax.

SQL CREATE TABLE Statement

SQL CREATE TABLE Statement is used to create a new table in a database. Users can define the
table structure by specifying the column’s name and data type in the CREATE TABLE command.

This statement also allows to create table with constraints, that define the rules for the table. Users
can create tables in SQL and insert data at the time of table creation.

Syntax
To create a table in SQL, use this CREATE TABLE syntax:

CREATE table table_name


(
Column1 datatype (size),
column2 datatype (size),
.
.
columnN datatype(size)
);

Here table_name is name of the table, column is the name of column

SQL CREATE TABLE Example


Let’s look at some examples of CREATE TABLE command in SQL and see how to create table in SQL.

CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE Example

In this example, we will create table in SQL with primary key, named “EMPLOYEE”.

CREATE TABLE Employee (


EmployeeID INT PRIMARY KEY,
FirstName VARCHAR(50),
LastName VARCHAR(50),
Department VARCHAR(50),
Salary DECIMAL(10, 2)
);

CREATE TABLE in SQL and Insert Data


In this example, we will create a new table and insert data into it.

Let us create a table to store data of Customers, so the table name is Customer, Columns are
Name, Country, age, phone, and so on.

CREATE TABLE Customer(


CustomerID INT PRIMARY KEY,
CustomerName VARCHAR(50),
LastName VARCHAR(50),
Country VARCHAR(50),
Age INT CHECK (Age >= 0 AND Age <= 99),
Phone int(10)
);

Output:

To add data to the table, we use INSERT INTO command, the syntax is as shown below:

Syntax:

INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, …) VALUES (value1, value2, …);


Example Query

This query will add data in the table named Subject

INSERT INTO Customer (CustomerID, CustomerName, LastName, Country, Age, Phone)


VALUES (1, 'Shubham', 'Thakur', 'India','23','xxxxxxxxxx'),
(2, 'Aman ', 'Chopra', 'Australia','21','xxxxxxxxxx'),
(3, 'Naveen', 'Tulasi', 'Sri lanka','24','xxxxxxxxxx'),
(4, 'Aditya', 'Arpan', 'Austria','21','xxxxxxxxxx'),
(5, 'Nishant. Salchichas S.A.', 'Jain', 'Spain','22','xxxxxxxxxx');
